NAO Cadet was created back in 2018 for the purpose of:
- Teaching young kids how to code a NAO robot using a familar block based system
- Allowing the product to work across multiple platforms (computer, tablets)
- Kids can code from multiple devices and run on the same NAO robot
Over time, it has grown to support:
- User accounts
- Multiple domains or locations
- Template scripts
- Hiding advanced robot feature blocks to simplify the interface
- Support for v6 NAOs (from version 1.1.0 onwards)
NOTE: Only the virtual robot in Choregraphe 2.8 is supported due to dependencies not present in version 2.1
Support and updates to this software is now limited due to time commitments and no longer having access to the NAO ecosystem.
To use NAO Cadet, you first need to install the naocadet.crg file onto your robot using the Choregraphe 2.8 program. Then once installed. it can be launched by speaking the word Cadet.
